REU Site: DIMACS REU in Computing Theory and Applications Impacting Society

该项目是罗格斯大学（DIMACS）正在进行的REU站点的延续。从全国招收的本科生参加与理论计算机科学的基础和应用有关的暑期研究项目。该项目每年从女性、弱势群体和非研究机构等不同群体中招收10名优秀本科生。这个网站的一个优点是导师团队的经验和专业知识，他们在过去已经能够产生宝贵的研究经验和优秀的研究出版物。许多过去的学生都继续追求成功的研究事业。该网站提供了各种各样的项目，从电路复杂性、图形匹配和纠错码等理论主题到机器人规划、主动学习、安全和隐私等更多应用主题。它还提供与社会相关的项目，如食物网、分析免疫肿瘤相互作用和基因组折叠。其中许多都是前沿研究项目，不仅能培养学生的研究技能，还能让他们接触到各自的研究领域。学生们还受益于DIMACS在该地区的行业合作伙伴。该项目将导致可发表的研究，并有助于建立未来的劳动力。

This project is the continuation of an ongoing REU site at DIMACS (Rutgers University). Undergraduate students recruited from across the nation participate in summer research projects relating to foundations and applications of theoretical computer science. Each year, the program recruits 10 outstanding undergraduate students from diverse groups including women, underrepresented groups, and non-research institutions. A strong point of this site is the experience and expertise of the mentoring team, which has been able to produce valuable research experiences and excellent research publications in the past. Many past students have gone on to pursue successful research careers.The site offers a wide variety of projects ranging from theoretical topics such as circuit complexity, graph matching, and error-correcting codes to more applied topics such as robot planning, active learning, security and privacy. It also offers socially relevant projects such as food webs, analyzing immune-tumor interactions, and genome folding. Many of these are leading-edge research projects that not only develop students' research skills but also give them exposure to respective research areas. The students also benefit from DIMACS industry partners in the region. The project will lead to publishable research and contribute to building the future work force.
